Critics Ratings
'A great bottle just coming into its prime to prove the allure of this vintage. Lovely seamless texture and great, subtle undertow. Fabulous freshness and precision.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20 (Jun 2017)
'This is discreetly floral with an elegant, refined and dense nose of red berry fruit, earth and wisps of anise and clove that precede textured, fresh and mouth coating medium plus weight flavors that possess good richness and solid power, punch, depth and length. Though it would not be my recommendation, this is sufficiently forward that it could actually be drunk now with sufficient aeration.' - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 92/100 (Jan 2010)
'Medium red. Brooding aromas of black raspberry and minerals; distinctly fruitier than the Clos-Saint-Denis. Then fatter, sweeter and more masculine in the mouth, with powerful fruit and a serious, mounting aftertaste. But this very young wine is less complex today than the Clos-Saint-Denis and can't match it for sheer back-end vibrancy.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 93/100 (Mar 2009)
